Police say a 38-year-old man who had a "recent mental health" episode was arrested after barricading himself in his Methuen home Wednesday morning.

Methuen Police Chief Joseph Solomon held a press conference near the home on College Lane just after 9 a.m. He said the man was hiding inside an end table when police entered the home.

At about 6:40 a.m. Solomon received a call about a standoff between police and the man, who Solomon declined to identify ahead of his arraignment. Police had tried to serve the man an arrest warrant.

Solomon said the man faces several charges including a warrant for receiving stolen goods and for stealing a dog. SWAT team members and police tried to communicate with the man for about an hour, before entering the home.
